This beautifully ornate antique picture frame has been given a new function and now shines as an elegant mirror. Originally richly detailed, the frame was painted in HH Chalk Paint in Olive Blue, a deep, calming tone that immediately draws attention to itself. The Olive Blue colour is timeless and elegant, a perfect choice for both modern and classic interiors.
The delicate decorations on the frame have been given a special colour treatment: I used shades of cherry, pumpkin and ochre to create a playful, warm contrast with the Olive Blue base colour. These earthy colours give a cosy, homely feel and add a special depth to the texture of the frame. I highlighted the trims with gold paint, which gives the frame a brilliant shimmer, adding a subtle luxurious touch to the mirror. The gold detailing is elegant and timeless, and the shiny decoration harmonises beautifully with the warm tones, crowning the beauty of the frame.
I sealed the surface of the mirror with a silk gloss parquet lacquer, which protects the paint and gives it an elegant satin effect sheen. This lacquer layer gives the mirror surface a durable finish and a subtle sheen that beautifully reflects ambient light, bringing the rich detail of the frame to life.
This mirror in a special colour scheme can be a really special addition to your home. Perfect for the living room, bedroom or hallway, it's sure to impress your guests. Its uniqueness and craftsmanship will make it the jewel of any room, while the rich, deep colours and gold trim will radiate elegance and warmth. If you're looking for a mirror that carries both antique charm and modern elegance, this piece is the perfect choice. Let this magnificent mirror be a home decoration that brings joy and style to your everyday life.
